Thanks in advance for helping with this, I looked through the list and didn't find anything that would specifically address the issue that I am having though others have reported the same error message the threads seem to have died off without a resolution posted. I am trying to install GTK+ 2.8.2 (had the same results with 2.8.0 as well) on a slamd64 system and have gone through and installed the following libraries in order: 1. LibSigC++ 2.0 2. ATK 1.10 3. GLIB 2.8.1 4. Cairo 0.9 5. Pango 1.10 ( ran configure --with-cairo ) When I now try to run the configure script for gtk+, I get the following error: checking Pango flags... -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/cairo -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure: error: *** Can't link to Pango.

For more information see http://www.pango.org The config.log file has this error listed in it (relevant portion only): configure:31492: result: -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/cairo -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/li b64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 configure:31536: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/local/include/cairo -I/usr/X11R6/include conftest.c -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib64 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lz -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 >&5 /usr/local/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so: undefined reference to `pango_fc_font_create_metrics_for_context' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:31542: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h. */ | | #define PACKAGE_NAME "gtk+" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "gtk+" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "2.8.2" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "gtk+ 2.8.2" I have tried removing pango entirely from the system and then re-installing it with the same results everytime. pkg-config finds all three, pango, pangocairo and cairo without a problem. My hunch is that the issue lies with ld.so somehow not being able to resolve the cairo library for pangocairo somehow. Any ideas on how I can set this up properly would be a great help. Thanks again for looking through this, if there is anything else that is needed please let me know and I will do my best to give you the information you need.
